Certification & Homologation

The notification of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRT&H) vide GSR 276 (E) dated April 10, 2007 under Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), authorizes ICAT to function as an independent ‘Type Approval and Homologation' agency. ICAT has created facilities/ capabilities to run national and international homologation programs. Our Certification team assures in-time certification and accurate measurements for compliance of various regulations, including CMVR.

DESIGN & ENGINEERING

Design & Engineering play very vital role in the Product Development Cycle (PDC). In today’s competitive environment, Automotive Industry is emphasizing on reducing lead time of PDC. ICAT is supporting automotive industry in the field of Design & Engineering by conducting DV/PV Testing of various automotive components e.g. Plastic Interior Components, Rubber Parts, Exterior Components, Engines, Electrical Electronics Components, ECUs, Engine Parts, Tyres, Wheel Rims etc. Also ICAT’s Fatigue Lab is providing services related to assessment of fatigue life by conducting durability/endurance testing of automotive components intended for suspension, steering system, transmission etc.
